Silly me thought the lighting festival was next weekend, when actually it was this past Saturday night. Luckily I have a great roommate who came in my room and yelled “AH get dressed! the lighting festival started TEN MINUTES AGO!”

We got dressed and ran out the door. I couldn’t see much of the parade (I blame my height) but I had a wonderful time and I love this place. I love this picture, I love all the people (wow am I saying love enough? geez)

Look at the streets..

It really is a magnificent mile (go ahead and call me a cornball but I mean what I say)

Sure it’s old but I am rediscovering my love for Jimmy Eat World.It’s pretty much what I’ve been listening to all day, I barely left my room. I have been sitting here attempting to finish my homework and craving skittles ALL day. It’s been a jam pack fun fair let me tell you.

You might not be his first, his last, or his only. He’s cared about someone else before and possibly will again-but if he cares for you now; then what else matters? He’s not perfect and you aren’t either, and the two of you will never be perfect. But if he can make you laugh, hold onto him and give him the most you can. He is probably not going to quote poetry. He might not be thinking about you every second of the day. But he will give you a part of him that he knows you can break. So don’t hurt him, don’t change him and don’t expect more than he can give. Don’t over analyze, smile when he makes you happy, yell when he makes you mad, and miss him whenever he’s not there

I have been re-watching the entire Gilmore Girls series with my roommates, its been wonderful. I love the characters in that show. While watching an episode from season 7 something really interesting happened..

Rory (the main character) is talking to a man who works for the New York Times. He is asking her how she likes her job as editor at the Yale Daily News

Rory: “It’s fun, I get to give myself the best pieces to write. Actually I just got to interview Barack Obama”

NYT Guy: “Really? I hear he might run for president in 2008, did he say anything about that?”

Rory: “I actually asked him about that and he said no comment, but I saw a sparkle in his eye”
